Sounds reasonable; look at the type of XtNchildren in Composite.c.

    {XtNchildren, XtCReadOnly, XtRWidgetList, sizeof(WidgetList),
     XtOffset(CompositeWidget, composite.children), XtRImmediate, NULL},

where the corresponding data field is 

    WidgetList  children;            /* array of ALL widget children         */

A WidgetList is just a pointer to a Widget; in a pinch, you can use a generic pointer type.

This should be settable in the same way as XmNitems in a List, also an array.
